Laser Hair Removal treatments
How many times have you had to give up on wearing your favorite dress for a special occasion only because of unsightly hair growth? And, how often do you dread the thought of heading to your neighborhood salon for the monthly, and rather painful, waxing treatment.
Laser types
There are many different types of laser machines for hair removal treatment. Let’s look at the most common ones.
Benefits of laser hair removal
There are many reasons why our patients swear by the benefits of laser hair removal. Here is a quick look at some of them:
We have state-of-the-art facilities for laser treatment. All patients are given protective eyewear before the treatment starts. Some patients are administered a numbing gel to help ease the slight discomfort that the laser may cause. You would also be instructed to follow certain habits in the days leading up to your treatment. These can include:
- Stop waxing or plucking hair to be treated
- Shave the area to be treated
- Avoid sun exposure
- Keep the area free from bleach and cream
- Inform your dermatologist if you are on birth control or acne medicines
Once your hair removal treatment is completed, your dermatologist will take you through a detailed discussion of how you would need to care for your skin in the coming days. Here are some things that you will be asked to do/follow:
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Stay away from tanning beds
- Use a cool compress to soothe the treated skin
Hirsutism is a condition in which women get excessive hair growth. This can be caused due to many reasons such as excess androgen or hormonal changes during menopause. The main symptom of hirsutism is the growth of thick hair in areas that women do not normally get hair. This includes the face, chest, back, and upper arms.
While women constitute a larger part of patients seeking hair removal treatments, men are not to be left out either. Women tend to require hair removal on the arms, legs, underarms, and bikini line. Men tend to require hair removal treatment done on the ears, cheeks, neck, back, and chest. Men may also opt for a shaping of the beard using laser. In many cases, the tiny black spots on the nose might look like blackheads but they are actually tiny hair that can also be removed with laser.
Shaving and waxing are both painful and temporary. Plus, they can cause skin irritation. Laser hair removal is safe and effective for both men and women. Our skincare experts will recommend the kind of laser that will work best for you.
When getting a treatment such as laser hair removal done, it is vital that you only go to a qualified dermatologist. You can look up dermatologists online or simply ask your family doctor to recommend one. Remember that money should never be a consideration when getting such treatments done. The best dermatologists will only use the most suitable equipment that is sensitive to your skin type and to your treatment needs. Saving money by going to an inexperienced technician can leave you with expensive bills to treat the damage caused. The National Health Service UK alerts patients against going with a technician who has only done a short course in laser treatment.
